I.The argument for abolishing the Electoral College has been around for a while, but rose to its peak in 2000 when George W. Bush was elected President despite losing the popular vote to Al Gore. The Electoral College is a voting system of 538 electors that vote on a state level based on the number of congressmen. The Electoral College is fair, simply due to the fact that the rules are known upfront. However, I don’t think the Popular Vote is fair at all it’s a system based on each indivual’s vote that decides the outcome of the election. The Electoral College vote doesn’t carry the same weight for every person’s vote. Every state is entitled to at least three electoral votes, regardless of whether or not the state’s population justifies it. This is basically giving them a second chance to win President or Vice President. a)The argument for abolishing the Electoral College has been around for a while but rose to peak in 2000 when George W. Bush was selected as president despite losing the popular vote Al Gore. b)While the Electoral College is not perfect, it should not be abolished. The Electoral College system however forces candidates to compete in states where the population is closely divided politically. c)If the Electoral College gets abolished the popular vote would be used and more people would be represented. Money wouldn't be wasted on campaigns and campaigning could be more streamlined on the computer via the internet. “Campaigns would be forced to reach every person in the nation to get a leg up, paying attention to each vote. [Article2, Gary Sacco, Page1]” II.Electoral College citizens cast their votes for state representatives to elect candidate that won majority of voters. “The Electoral College system ensures that non-voters are fairly represented.[Text 3, pg.2, Shelsinger]” In a popular vote system this would be and disaster. The United States of America uses the Electoral College, where votes are based on states population (at least 3...

Using critical self-reflection to improve and refine my study skills
Using critical self-reflection to improve and refine my study skills
Critical self-reflection refers to analysing one’s personal skills and qualities in depth. Critical self-reflection also involves being able to identify where one has strengths and weaknesses, as well as finding a solution on how to better ones self. In this essay I shall be writing about how critically reflecting on the study skills I possess and those that need enhancing has helped me to improve and refine them. The skills I will be writing about include: understanding questions; writing an essay; being organised; time keeping and note taking.
By critically self-reflecting on my study skills I have found that I tend to lack understanding of essay questions. Recognising this weakness has allowed me to find a solution to improve my sense of clarity over any future essay question that is to be set. To progress my understanding of a question I cannot take it at face value, I need to look for the hidden meaning. The way in which I find this hidden meaning is by identifying the psychology words, these are essentially the words that direct my answer. One way to identify these key words is by presenting the essay title in question to an individual of practical intelligence who has not studied psychology and wait for them to enquire...

ECH 1200 Study Skills Summative Essay
The aim of this essay is to give the reader an overview of the types of academic study skills that I develop for the course of Foundation degree in early childhood studies. In it I will discuss my personal approach to study and the strategies I need to use on the program. The essay will highlight the skills I feel are my current strengths and draw attention to the areas I need to develop. I will briefly describe and evaluate some different research skills and reflective techniques I used to understand how I can improve my learning experience and my study skills in order to study more proactively. ‘The study skills needed for Higher Education are ultimately gained only through studying at that level’ (Cottrell, 2008)
To begin with, from learning style questionnaire from classroom helps me to identify different learning styles and my own preferred learning style as Pragmatist. ‘Understanding your individual learning style will help you choose the most effective learning activities for you. This does not mean that you cannot learn from activities that are not specifically suited to your own style, but your preferred style will maximise your opportunity to learn.’ (Honey & Mumford, 2006) As I entered in this course as a mature student with a great challenge of learning from diploma level to higher level,...

Study Skills
To have good study skills there are many things that must come together for this to happen; time management, goal setting, and the study environment are just three important areas that will be discussed. Time management will be the first important area that will discussed.
We all at some point in our lives have to somehow deal with time management. As Goodstein (1999) expressed, “learning to manage time well is a key skill for success at home and in the workplace” (p 44). A prime example of using time management is the assignment of this final paper. We all knew that we had eight weeks to complete this assignment; the instructor gave us a schedule of what we should be accomplishing each week to achieve our end result. If we chose to use that schedule or not is our own decision. Mundsack (2002) explains the value of a schedule as “the most important thing you can do by way of organizing your life for studying is to make a schedule. A schedule makes time by cutting out wasted motion…by having a schedule; you can avoid the hit-or-miss approach that causes some students to tackle the hardest or dullest subject when they are least able to concentrate” (p. 27). Schedules are a great tool for everyone to use when it comes to time management and according to Walsh (2008) “a schedule can provide satisfaction when properly executed” (p. 18). Now that we have discussed time management, we are going to explore the...

Reading is an important skill in academic study. It is crucial to have a good reading
ability. There are several reading strategies are mentioned in this course. In this essay,
I will mainly talk about three skills, which are how to improve reading
comprehension, reading speed and how to make notes. And I also will explain how I
will use these strategies to support my study.
To start with, how to improve reading comprehension, active reading strategies are
required. While I am reading an article, I will go through the article and have a
general sense of it first（Cottrell, 2003）. By doing this, I can skip the most difficult
section and start with the easy one. After this, I am able to write down questions and
find the answers easier. Once you read with clear questions, it is much easier to find
answers while reading than read blindly. The next thing to do is to read the difficult
parts again, not only slowly, but also over and over again. Highlighting is another
good way to help understanding the reading (Cottrell, 2003). By highlighting the key
words and phrases, the important information and the reading’s outline will be seen
much more clearly. It is also good to know that important information usually can be
found in headings, the first and the last sentences of paragraphs and it is better to use
colors or special symbols to mark them (Cottrell, S, 2003).

Job Analysis Continuing Case:
The carter cleaning company: The job description
1. What should be the format and final form of the store manager’s job description?
Answer: The format noted in figure 4-6 could be a reasonable format to use. Students may recommend
that Jen should include a “standards of performance” section in the job description. This lists the
standards the employee is expected to achieve under each of the job description’s main duties and
responsibilities, and would address the problem of employees not understanding company policies,
procedures, and expectations. In addition, students may recommend that Jennifer instead take a
competency-based approach which describes the job in terms of the measurable, observable, behavioral
competencies that an employee doing that job must exhibit. Because competency analysis focuses more
on “how” the worker meets the job’s objectives or actually accomplishes the work, it is more worker
focused.
2. Was it practical to specify standards and procedures in the body of the job description, or
should these be kept separately?
Answer: They do not need to be kept separately, and in fact both Jen and the employees would be
better served by incorporating standards and procedures into the body of the description. The exception
to this would be if the standards and procedures are so complex or involved that it becomes more
pragmatic to...
